According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 32.3 million people have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine across the United States. Of these people, approximately 9.5 million people were fully vaccinated after receiving two doses.
Current CDC estimates show that approximately 1.2 million new doses were administered on February 8, which falls below the current 7-day average of more than 1.4 million doses per day. In December, about 2.8 million vaccines were administered. Before the inauguration day on January 20, approximately 12.9 million doses were given.
Although most statistics focus on the effectiveness of the vaccine strategy at the national level, it is important to understand success rates at the state level. Below is a breakdown of current vaccination rates, broken down by state.

Takeaways
If we sort these states by the percentage of people who get at least one dose of the vaccine, the top ten states are Alaska (15%), West Virginia (12%), New Mexico (11%), North Dakota (11%) , Connecticut (11%), Oklahoma (11%), Virginia (11%), South Dakota (10%), Delaware (10%) and Wisconsin (10%). The bottom ten states are Alabama (7.7%), Kansas (8.0%), Missouri (8.0%), Iowa (8.0%), Rhode Island (8.0%), Tennessee (8, 1%), Idaho (8.4%), Nebraska (8.5%), Pennsylvania (8.7%) and Texas (8.7%).
If we sort these states by percentage of people who are fully vaccinated with two doses, the top ten states are West Virginia (7.5%), Alaska (5.6%), North Dakota (5.0%), South -Dakota (4.6%), Vermont (4.4)%, New Mexico (4.2%), Oklahoma (3.8%), Louisiana (3.8%), Tennessee (3.6%) and Colorado (3.6%). The ten largest states are Alabama (1.8%), Mississippi (2.0%), Idaho (2.0%), Georgia (2.1%), California (2.1%), Nevada (2.2%). %), Arizona (2.2%), South Carolina (2.3%), Indiana (2.3%) and Kansas (2.4%).
It is also interesting to look at the number of doses delivered and the amount of doses administered, which gives us the percentage of doses use by each state.
If we sort these states by the percentage of doses used, the top ten states are Utah (103%), North Dakota (99%), New Mexico (94%), West Virginia (91%), South Carolina (86 %), Montana (85%), South Dakota (83%), Wisconsin (82%), Virginia (82%) and Nevada (81%). The ten largest states are Alabama (58%), Alaska (61%), Kansas (62%), Rhode Island (63%), Pennsylvania (63%), Mississippi (64%), Massachusetts (65%), New Hampshire (65%), Maryland (66%) and Missouri (67%).
California received the most doses, with more than 6.9 million doses and more than 4.6 million doses (67%). Texas is second, receiving more than 4.4 million doses, but giving a larger share of 75% (more than 3.3 million doses). Florida comes third, receiving nearly 3.8 million doses and giving more than 2.6 million (6.9%).
There seems to be a strong correlation – not surprisingly – between the size of the population and the efficiency of vaccine distribution. The smaller states by population – for example, Wyoming, Vermont, and North and South Dakota – received the least doses, but had the highest percentage of doses and the percentage of people who gave at least one dose. Conversely, the most populous states – California, Texas, Florida and New York – received much more doses, but had a lower percentage of people receiving at least one shot.
Of these states, California has the highest percentage of people who receive at least one shot (9.6%), while Texas has the least (8.1%). However, Florida has the highest percentage of people who receive both shots (2.9%), while California has the least (2.1%). Percentage of the doses administered, Texas is also the leading population, with 75% of the doses compared to California (67%), Florida (69%) and New York (72%).
According to the CDC, New York still has the highest mortality rate of these four states, with the city of New York alone experiencing 330 deaths per 100,000 compared to Florida (129), Texas (133) and California (111). New York City has indeed been hit so hard by COVID-19 that the CDC tables separately contain New York and the state of New York.
